What is Depression?

From time to time we can all feel sad, miserable, and fed up. While these are understandable reactions to upsetting or stressful events and experiences, it is also quite normal to experience them for no reason at all. But if they persist, they can be signs of depression.

Depression affects one in six of us, with common symptoms including lack of motivation, difficulties in concentration, pessimism, sleep disturbances, irritability, crying, suicidal thoughts, social withdrawal, changes in appetite, loss of sex drive, and lack of enthusiasm and pleasure.

If you are suffering from depression, you won’t find easy or quick relief; your feelings of sadness can continue for weeks and months and interfere significantly in your relationships, employment, and health.

How can depression counselling help you?

It’s important to remember is that you’re not alone and help is available.

Talking to one of our depression psychotherapists and counsellors here at Creative Devotional Counselling, can support you and help you explore the root of your depression and low mood.

We can also help you decide whether you might benefit from trying out cognitive behavioural therapy techniques, which focus on lifting the spiralling cycles of depression and low mood.
